    The Gaming Revolution!

    The title sounds a little dramatic :lol: but just what we've been talking about over the past few months has finally been picked up by the papers, have a look on page 17 of today's Metro - it's basically an insight into EA's next up coming online titles but the main bit - they're FREE!

    In the next series of Battlefield, here's ;
    www.battlefield-hereos.com - looks a litte 'team fortress' but if you want, you can purchase upgrades, uniforms, etc, but if you don't want to - just play it for nowt.

    Also there's;
    www.spore.com - some kind of creature growning thing - but you can download the creature creator early - and for nowt.



    when i bought speccy games, i'd spent ages in the games shop, looking at the back of cassette boxes trying to choose the best game for my £2 pocket money - lets hope this shit in how they get their games out there AND how the combat piracy is picked up by lots of other software houses - good on EA!








    hhmm.. not exactly clearing 3rd world debt is it? :lol:

    getting the kids hooked and making em pay - as the saying goes.

    steam has a nice little system to combat anti piracy, you can crack it like - but it's such a fanny on people would rather pay than hassle on to get it for free, and even then i dont know if you can play fully online :spangled:

    i've sort of given up on the whole online game thing, unless something hits me in the face - i dont think i'll bother.
